I plan to go diving, will the bags withstand 140 feet depth in water?

Yes, the bags will withstand that depth - but it's soft, so the real question is whether the thing in the bag will survive that depth, right?
24548
WHAT! why would you do that and noooo i would not trust these bags get a nike one or REI or something north face

Yes, it will work for something like a wallet. Its essentially a really really nice ziplock bag so don't try to take your cell phone or anything else that can't take the pressure that deep.

I used this snorkel set in Kona on the big island and had no trouble with them. We also went out on the Body Glove tour boat, and they worked well for that. I think that people have too high expectations for this set. It's not a set you'd use with tanks. I had no trouble in twenty-five feet of water, on a nice day, and was able to dive down about Fifteen feet. I think I could have gone deeper if I could have held my breath longer. They are a little big for kids. My daughter had trouble with her mask leaking.

I don't think these were designed for underwater exploration I think they're more just saying they're waterproof for your vehicle but it wouldn't hurt to try

I didn't go any deeper than 20 to 25 feet below the surface but at that depth they worked just fine. There were no indications of any problems at all.

We are in the marine industry building barges and Tug boat and they are exposed to moisture a lot and occasionally get slightly submerged in water (appears to be water resistant), but I don't know if they are water proof... Suggest checking with Manufacturer

Can't say for sure on 20 mins.. but I've had to carry this bag across an airport running to the truck about 100 yards away in a huge downpour. As long as you remember to keep the inside zippers closed, it does seem to be pretty water proof. That being said. The zippers are way too small. I'm always afraid to pull on them too hard thinking they might tear or break. I like the ones on my Mil-Tec backpack much better. (about twice a wide and looking heavy duty.) Also, don't store any electronics in the outside Molle attachments. The caps DO NOT stay in place very well and you will get water in them if they are not pulled tight. I searched for about 3 months for a computer bag and of all the ones of similar style.. I think this is the best you are going to find for now. BTW.. it does come with a separate computer zip bag for extra protection.

The depth limit for recreational scuba diving is 125 ft or roughly 40 meters. To go any deeper you are putting yourself as well as the camera in danger!

Don't see why not... The bags need to be wet (soaked) to work... If that's not an issue than you're good to go...

The only issue would be that their seal strip is weaker than a ZipLok. For water protection I would recommend a ZipLok freezer bag - thick film and double seal.

I use my bag for saltwater and it holds up well. The zippers are coated pretty well and I don't think they will rest. The only thing is the pull strings come off and you have to tie them back on.

The bags do not come water proof. I was able to "waterproof" them using a 3M waterproofing spray. I say "waterproof" because they certainly will never be fully waterproof (dunked under water). They are a tiny bit water resistant but in a heavy rain they will collect water. If you give them a spray with that 3M stuff you will be good for a while. In edition to spraying them I also used tent seam sealer. I still wouldn't rely on them to be left out in the rain if there were electronics in them.

Samantha; If you close the bag as instructed it will maintain a day enviroment for you stuff. If you submerge it in 3 feet of water for a prolonged period I don't know. It works fine on my dive trips it stays on the boat, I don't take it with me in the water.

I would say yes, it could go at least 10 feet underwater before it leaks. But, there are two other things to consider: 1) how long is it going to be 10' under water, and 2) how well did you roll the top shut. This bag is not particularly easy to roll shut, especially if it is a little on the stuffed-full side. Another reviewer claimed it was more trouble than it's worth. You must line up two Velcro strips before you roll it shut; even a small misalignment could be the cause of a leak. Mine goes in a canoe, so contacts with water are brief and infrequent. Overall, I like the bag, and I'm glad I purchased it. Hope this helps!!

5 meters under the water might be too deep for the case to hold the seal. the best bet is to read manufactures suggestions on how deep can you go.

I don't know. I use it for windsurfing, so I am never more than six feet under, but mine has survived high-speed impact with no problems. i expect that it could go pretty deep.

I can't see which waterproof case this refers to. I have 2 different kinds. The kind that's a sealed bag, I haven't gone diving with it but it sure looks like it would work. The other one I have is a lifeproof case that is rated to a certain depth for a certain amount of time by the manufacturer, off hand I think it is 6 feet for 1/2 hr, but you can look that up on their site easily.

I wouldn't suggest scuba diving with it, but yes it is water proof. I have left mine in the rain and never had a drop in it. This a a true Pelican Case with a backpack built around it. It's worth the money.
